Materiality Identification Process
To realize our Purpose, "For a future of health, wellbeing and financial protection," the SOMPO Group aims to achieve sustainable growth and enhance corporate value by integrating our business activities with sustainability and resolving key social issues. To accelerate these efforts and earn the support of a broader range of stakeholders, we have identified our "Materiality." This clarifies the challenges we must address to realize the society we envision for 2030 and beyond.
[Step 1] Identifying Issues
We comprehensively identified issues based on international guidelines, the SDGs, the Group's strategy, and significant risks that could impact our management.
[Step 2] Prioritizing Issues
For the issues identified in Step 1, we conducted quantitative and qualitative assessments of their impact on our company and on society. We then mapped and prioritized these issues through both dialogue with external stakeholders (including customers, investors, NGOs, partners such as insurance agencies, and experts) and internal management discussions.
Mapping of Issues (As of March 2026)*1
- With regard to issue identification and prioritization, we perform an annual analysis to confirm whether revisions are necessary, taking into account changes in the external environment, the Group’s business strategies, and requests from stakeholders.
[Step 3] Identifying Materiality*2
Following Steps 1 and 2, we identified the following five material issues.
*2 Following discussions at the Group Sustainable Management Committee, the Materiality has been approved by the Group CEO (Director) and reported to the Board of Directors.
[Step 4] Linking Issues with Strategies and KPIs
For each material issue, we define the specific SOMPO businesses, strategies, and initiatives that should address it, and establish corresponding financial and non-financial KPIs.
